I must say something about Maxima evningwear, i was looking in the internet this photos about the Queen Elizabeth evningwere, this dresses are so elaborate and reaally for a queen, so mcuh embrodery, stones, they are all gorgeous, one better than the other, and imagine very, but very expensive, I don't think even Diana had this kind of dresses and Maxima always nice dresses but without going to the extreme of embrodery siquences, stones, crystals etc..... i mean no so expensive at the ones that Queen Elizabeth uses, I know Maxima is not a queen jet, but still, I think she is more moderate and still she dress with grace and elegance without expending so much fortune is this evening gowns. I think if I was living in Holland and paying my taxes I really would apreciate the way Maxima dress without expending outregros prcies for so elaborated dresses.
she is beutiful in this photos and i love her hair, i wonder if is all her hair?

Love the dress and the hairstyle, not sure about the eye makeup, though. Maybe the darkness of the colors contrasts too much with the blonde hair. She definitely has the figure to wear strapless well, however!

I like the make-up. It's a bit more than usual, but it's an evening event, so it's okay. And she doesn't wear such make-up every (day) evening. It's new and varied. And I also think the make-up ( and the dress and her new hairdo) make her look younger. The last month she looked a bit like a Beatrix-copy
